I think I have done all the currency support / number localisation work. Screenshot:

It is quite easy to miss localising something on one of the screens/ warning dialogs so I will spend the next 2 or 3 days:
+ porting the code to the live branch (it is all in the encrypted wallets branch at the moment)
+ testing the various screens/ drag and drop/ bitcoin URI support

There should not be any new localisation terms added before the release - thanks for the localisation efforts everybody over the last couple of weeks. The help/ website will need updating but I can do that afterwards.

Assuming nothing too serious turns up in the testing I aim to get it out on Monday.

(Edit: and then the encrypted wallet beta with the currency support in should be a couple of days later)

Jim, can you edit out the quote in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1362963 please?
Problem was solved by downloading blockchain from Nov. 22 as you stated.

If you look at the transaction [redacted] you can see the second [redacted] output you are trying to spend is already spent. That is why your transaction is not propagating through the network (ie it is only seen by the peer you first sent it to).

You should be able to scrub that transaction from your wallet if you do a 'Tools | Reset Blockchain and Transactions' if you choose the date THE DAY BEFORE the transaction. (it removes transactions using UTC time so if you are east of the UK if you choose the day before you avoid timezone problems).

Hi Binford 6100,

Mainly as I have other things I want to get in, I don't plan to add it in for the foreseeable future no.

hi jim, any plans to support send to many? creating multiple outputs in one tx, like the satoshi client does?
i just noticed I can't do that and got used to it ...
besides that great client : )

I have progressed the currency conversion and done a little infographic (that I will probably use in the help) on using it:

There is a bit of finishing off to do but hopefully I will get a live version with the currency support in by the end of this week.

Initial layout of the currency support in the Send panel:

It is not fully hooked up yet : the idea is you can type in either the BTC amount field or the fiat one and the other automatically fills out.
The Request panel will be similar.

It is a straight copy from blockchain.info as that is the best usage I have seen.

Hi World,

It is one of things with customisation, where do you stop ?

I figure the majority of people will want to convert to their 'home' currency so I have put in a 'per user' setting. Not sure it is worth having another level of settings to go down to the 'per wallet' level.

will be nice if different wallet has a different fiat amounts calculation for each country

I have updated the wallet panel to show both the BTC and fiat amounts:

If only Multibit was bound to Java. Sad

I presume you mean 'not bound to Java'.
It is a pretty useful abstraction layer - I doubt I could get stuff working on all of Win/ Linux/ Mac without it.

You can put both MultiBit and an installation of Java on a USB drive and not have it installed on your machine if you want.

I will put the amount in the single wallet panel as 'xxx BTC (fiat amount)' and widen the panel if required.

Simplifies the control as well as it is one less click-to-do-something.
That makes the tooltip unnecessary so I will remove it.

In finance they always talk about 'swaps' so I think that is the more common one yes.

@promankirov: thanks !

I'm trying MultiBit.
It seems a very good client.

Thanks to the developers!

The one I'm used to seeing is "swap" at least, "swop" looks odd.

I agree with Slush that it'd be nice to be able to see both BTC and fiat balances simultaneously, somehow. Perhaps by making the wallet panels a bit wider.

@Mike
Thanks ! I am enjoying the currency work actually as it will make it more useful for everyday use.
Apparently swop and swap are variants of each other. I am not sure which is the more common one for all English speakers.

@Slush. There is not much space in the single wallet panels - basically two lines the top one of which is the description. There may well be other icons appearing on the bottom row over time (eg an icon for your device when you plug it in so I don't want to overcrowd it.

To get the full balance info you want to see (maximally) the estimated + available balance in both currencies so you are going to want to click the single wallet panel to make it the active one. Then everything appears in the header.

Hm, what about displaying both amounts next to each other (on same vertical level)? Tooltips imho should not be used for such kind of information.
